That's fair enough I understand that Windows as much as any other OS has it's shortcomings don't worry about that. However is Linux was the mainstream OS chances are we'd all be removing spyware from our friends'/families' pcs just the same. All I'm saying is that clearly there are areas that each OS has to improve but I firmly believe that MS did a great job with the 360 and it really upsets me and discourages me from reading comments below articles on/. because everyone is such a naysayer. To the point that if someone on their own makes something cool there are 30 posts saying how it's old, big deal, it should do this, blah blah. The constant negative mood is what upsets me most, that's all.:-)

Typical Slashdot response ( bear in mind I love slashdot but god there are a lot of cynics ): You mean M$ sending patches for a POS system running a POS OS, I hope M$ fails. They produce nothing but garbage, forget things that they actually create instead of talking about, forget that they brought the everyday pc to the everyday person. Instead M$ is all that is evil and everything they make is awful. I just bought a 360 and wasn't a big fan of the original, I think the 360 is a very cool console, and LIVE is truly an amazing service. So can someone explain why most of the responses to posts on/. are everything sucks, linux rules, M$ is the devil?

Hey guys this isn't new news, my father works for a telecom company where they produce cable modem termination systems. One of the requirements mandated by federal law was that in order to sell their product they had to write a backdoor for the FBI. This is nothing new and unfortunately is just another example of creating alot of noise by not doing that much under the guise of protecting citizens.
